For most of us, the idea of owning a home is becoming an increasingly

distant prospect. Even a $1-million property no longer means the

palatial estate of some movie star. It’s just a basic house that still

needs some work.

To reflect this current reality, I’ve turned a real suburban landscape

into embellished fantasy. Picture-book tones, homely weaves, and

glassy beads give the air of a fairy tale.

The idea of living somewhere comfortable and convenient has become the

stuff of dreams.
